While many suggestions have been made and most of them may help eliminate PIO, the only solution you really need is to insure your arm is supported to eliminated any movement and then fly with wrist action alone. Your thumb and several fingers are all you really need once you are airborne. Control forces are so light and the range of stick movement is so small that you can/will easily over control without your arm immobilized until you adjust to the sensitivity. I have dual sticks and my arm rest on my leg. I've had no trouble ,even on the first flight and I wouldn't change the way it flies for any reason. Larry Flesner - 225 hours and still grinnin'
